Mary Jo Foley writes: Hardly a week goes by without some new story on OpenDoc Format (ODF) vs. Office Open XML (OOXML) file-format wars grabbing headlines. This week, it's California is threatning to go the way of Massachusetts in decreeing that state agencies make ODF their document standard. Microsoft's GM of Standards and Interop Tom RobertsonI haven't been one to give the ODF vs. OOXML battle much attention. But since nearly every other tech blogger and journalist seemed to find the ODF vs. OOXML contest endlessly fascinating, I couldn't help but wonder if I was missing something. I had a chance to ask Tom Robertson, General Manager of Interoperability and Standards for Microsoft — someone who has a lot invested in the ODF vs. OOXML contest — a few questions regarding why folks should care about ODF and OOXML. | ||
